Finally! Something I can relate to, I had one of these in my last workplace. Was older than my manager and it was only used to fix those 20 year old machines we had lying around.
To anyone wondering, this is a industrial PC which is meant to withstand the hardest of environments. The handle is a boon when you have to run around the factory and your hands are full.

Union.
HP but it switches with Dell every 5 years.
My peers have been there 20+ years. No one's dumb enough to get fired. I only got this job because someone retired.
The people are awesome. I hope to God I can work here another decade.
I've had so many Dell Laptops...
Chromebook?
This.
Please kill me, these things suck so fucking bad.
They crash regularly during regular office work operation.
I had a coworker try to help me with something but his chromebook crashed 5 times in the span of 3 minutes.

Used to have a ThinkPad decades back. Still remember Howard comfortable the typing was.

Sadly Thinkpads no longer are what they used to be. I got the X1 Extreme Gen 5 couple of years back and have had all kinds of problems with it. Blue screens, problem with fans sometimes getting stuck at 100%, constant problems connecting to the dock, not to mention bad battery life... My coworker had to get a warranty replacement when the usb-c port stopped working without any apparent reason only after a month of use. And other coworkers with newer models are also reporting issues.

what if you get to choose?
Then you owe your IT unit a monthly sacrifice
What if I am the IT unit?
Hmm I don’t think you have to make a sacrifice to yourself, but you should probably buy yourself a sweet treat once a month just to be safe.
Bring in the interns?

What about a Framework laptop?
Edit: or a desktop that you can remote into from your personal machine if you want to work outside the office?
Wouldn't it either be a really new start up or a non profit foss group? Talking about framework

Special rule:
Thinkpad but with 1600x900 resolution on the 24" screen and full hd on a 22" screen in the office.
That buys you only around 2 years from personal experience.
That job ain't right.
I would instinctively start to strangle anyone who gives me a 900p screen that isn't a CRT.
900p on an any LCD monitor at any point in history was always very wrong, something that should not be. Even 1080p is torture for office-ish work.
